I am NEVER going to take any last minute orders now.....decided!!! my sister's boss wanted me to make a set of 24 cupcakes for a meeting of interior decorators and that too in a day ..... i dunno y i agreed :P the quality of work really depreciates in haste...so they didnt turn out the way i intended but they werent tht bad either... but still...no last minutes orders for me anymore!!!

Six were themed rest were simply beautiful ....if i may say so myslef :)

I was craving for a fruity delight and guess who came to my rescue ;)...yes Bakerella!!! (its like shes turning into my baking god fairy ) anyway ...so yea it was yummmmy!!!
So, heres how it was made....1. Emptied a can of peaches along with the syrup into a big glass dish.

2. Added one cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tsp baking power ...mixed them all together in a separate bowl and dumped them over the peaches.

3. Take 100gms butter (unslated) cut into cubes and spread over the dry layer.

4. Take 1/2 cup brown sugar, half cup chopped nuts (i used almonds and cashew nuts, you can use walnuts also), few white chocolate chips(optional) and sprinkle all over the dish.

Well this cake...that you are about to see was a major challenge for me ...firstly because i had never in my life made an all fondant cake so i was quiet freaked out .... secondly.....the cake looked very difficult for a novice i kept on cursing myself for agreeing to make this cake ...
Anyway this is how it turned out..i liked it ....i hope the girl i made this for likes it too :)

As I had mentioned in my earlier post, that i have to execute alot many orders this month...alhumdullilah i have been able to complete and deliver two of them .....Barney was requested by hubby's friends' son .....so here it goes :)
